How do you safely clean and disinfect a reusable plastic water bottle that has developed a sour damp odor?

Question

My daily gym shaker bottle smells terrible even after washing it with standard liquid soap. What household compound destroys the hidden bacterial bio-film trapped inside plastic grooves?

LaundryKing · Answer

Fill the plastic bottle with warm water and add one tablespoon of fresh baking soda and two tablespoons of distilled white vinegar. Let the bubbling solution sit inside for 30 minutes to strip away the acidic bacterial bio-film then scrub thoroughly with a flexible bottle brush wash.
